Today is Google Birthday, but as mentioned in the Google FAQ the date changes each year!

Google opened its doors in September 1998. The exact date when we celebrate our birthday has moved around over the years, depending on when people feel like having cake. (FROM : http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=4866&topic=367&hlrm=en)

Maybe because some modern browser(s) don't take png's alpha into account... Gif's transparency works well on IE, not PNG's. In the same time Firefox 3 will be compatible with Animated PNG...

I guess its only Google's birthday when they tell us its their birthday (makes it a bit harder to buy presents :P)
